hi, I think, I do not understand, how to update (security/bugfixes) my 8.2 = machines :-) I searched a lot and tried, what I have found in the docs, = but I had trouble ... What I have done (one thing was working, but didn't know, if it is = correct): =46rom the Docs: # /usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch =20 Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found. Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching public key from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching public key from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching public key from update3.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. Other docs: # portsnap fetch update Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... done. Updating from Tue Sep 13 12:54:18 CEST 2011 to Thu Sep 29 17:30:27 CEST = 2011. Fetching 3 metadata patches.. done. Applying metadata patches... done. Fetching 3 metadata files... done. Fetching 3679 patches.....10....20....30....40.... (a lot of output) # portsnap extract pkg_add -r portmanager portmanager -u [...] my problem is especial, that portmanager asks me a lot, like "Include = support for X" or opengl, LaTeX ... questions I don't want. My problem = is now, that I have now a lot of programs installed, on a ISCSI target = only machine. I want something like Debian with "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" So I'm sure that I have done something in a wrong way. I also know, that I can use /etc/make.conf: WITHOUT_X11=3Dyes USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE=3Dyes [...] but, is this needed to _keep_ a minimal system? cu denny=
